Latsa Company has had numerous requests for information on the cleaning to toothbrushes after the children in childcare facilities are finished with brushing their teeth. I would like you to check out the information found on two websites; the links to those websites are found on the page of links on Latsa Company's website, http://www.latsa.com/toothbrush_links.html. If you would like to go directly to the information on the Center for Disease Control's recommendations, it is http://www.cdc.gov/OralHealth/infectioncontrol/factsheets/toothbrushes.htm. If you would like to go directly to the information from the University of Iowa, the url it is http://www.mchoralhealth.org/PDFs/ToothbrushingProtocol.pdf. Basically they both agree that each toothbrush should be thoroughly rinsed separately under water from the faucet to remove toothpaste and any debris. Sanitizing by any other method is not recommended or needed.
